PIPE"FOR SMOKING TOBACCO.

Application filed May 9,

k of simple construction with a minimum of parts and no lntricate passages; 1n short an improved tobacco burning ipe inwhich, in addition to the foregoing, t e accumulations of nicotine and moisture are taken care of and trouble due tothe same is avoided.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists essentially in the combination with a closed bowl, provided with a draft opening and having an operatively mounted, air-tight base, of a stem opening above the base and adapted to vprovide between the base and said opening a space to contain unburnt tobacco whereby, moisture is automatically absorbed when the pipe is being smoked.

Referring now to the drawings, in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure,

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section,

Figure 2 is an end view,

Figure 3 is a top plan view, and

Figure't is a bottom plan view.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, in which an example of my improved pipe is illustrated, l0 designates a closed bowl, dome-shaped at the top and provided with a restricted orifice 11 to serve as a draft opening and passage for the removal of ashes. The opposite end of the bowl 10 is closed by means of an air-tight cover 12,

hingedly mounted on the bowl at 13 and provided on the opposite side with a suitable catch 14 adapted to engage with retaining means 15 carried by the bowl. This cover is adapted to be swung open for the purpose of filling the pipe. Adjacent the cover, and formed integral with the bowl, is a stem portion 16 having a suitable bore through which the smoke passes while attached to this stem, in any suitable'manner at 18, is a mouth piece 19 of 'well known construction.

1925. Serial No. 29,130.

The stem 16 isformed injthe bowl at a point adjacent the bottom of the bowl so as to provide a space 17 'between the smoke opening 17 in the stem and the bottom of the bowl to contain suflicient tobacco for absorbing moisture.

. From the foregoing the operation of my improved pipe will be apparent. In filling it the air-tight cover, forming the bottom,

is opened and the'bowl 10 is filled with tobacco. The cover is then closed and the pipe lit by applying a burning match or the like at the draft, opening 11, while the smoker draws through the stem 16 by mouth piece 19, the tobacco thereby becoming lighted and burning steadily with little draft effort on the part of the smoker.

The heat caused by combustion is retained and reflected by the arched dome of thelbowl 10 instead of being lost through a large opening as in the ordinarypipe.

When the tobacco has burned down to the stem opening 17 combustion becomes slower and the pipe goes out. Any moisture which may collect at the stem opening drips down and is absorbed by the fresh tobacco in the space 17 Moisture obstruction with the objectionable gurgling sounds, which occur in pipes having the stem opening and bottom of the bowl at approximately the same level, cannot take place with my improved pipe.

To refill the pipe when the'tobacco is burned downto the'stem opening 17, first remove the ashes by knocking the bowl, on

an ash tray to force the ashes through'the. draft opening 11 without loss oftobaccoi' Then open the bottom cover 12, push the tobacco which remains inthe bowl up to the top of the bowl and fill with tobacco as before. i V I Asmany changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of myinvention within the scope of the claim, constructed without departing from the spirit 1 or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

What I claim asmy invention is:

In a pipe for smoking tobacco, the combination of a bowl open at the lower end and formed with an arched, tophaving a draft orifice therein, of a hingedly mounted airtight trap door for the open end adapted in 2o V V 1,630,832

'c losed position to hold tobacco in the bowl and retaining-means carried by the bowl de 5 from the lower endto provide. in combinw myhand,

and when opened topeimit access of the tachably'associated withengaging means on unburned tobacco-remaining in the bowl, a the trap door. 7 r 1 stem opening in the side of the bowl-spaced In witness whereof I have hereunto set tion with the trap door for said end, a re- I ceptacle therebetween for unburned tobacco, CHARLES FOSTER-CORBETT; 7
